Summary

Irving Park Elementary is a PK–5 school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 541 students as part of Guilford County Schools. The school currently ranks at the 48th percentile of North Carolina elementary schools — essentially the statewide middle — a substantial improvement from a decade ago when it sat in the bottom fifth. Within a three-mile radius, nearby schools range from the 5th to 96th percentiles, meaning Irving Park Elementary sits comfortably ahead of several local schools but behind a clearly stronger tier of neighbors like General Greene Elementary, Sternberger Elementary, and Brooks Global Elementary.

The academic profile is uneven. Third-grade reading is the clearest challenge: 48% proficiency, below both the district (51.3%) and state (55.6%) averages, and far behind nearby schools like General Greene (77.9%) and Sternberger (75.8%) that serve similar student populations. However, there are genuine bright spots. Fourth-grade reading at 58.8% exceeds both district and state averages, and 3rd-grade math (68.6%) also tops the state. The school's work with English Learner students is particularly notable — an 81st-percentile subgroup ranking statewide — and Hispanic students also perform well relative to the same subgroup across North Carolina. The most recent year brought broad gains across nearly every tested grade and subject, with the state ranking climbing from the 35th to 48th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism stands at 25.8%, better than the Guilford County average of 29.2% but still above the state's 24.2%. This is an improvement from recent years when the rate exceeded 30%, though nearby top performers like General Greene and Brooks Global report far lower absenteeism. Irving Park has stabilized into a solidly middle-performing school. Its path forward is clear: continue strengthening early reading while building on the momentum shown with English Learner students and the broad academic gains of the latest year.
